Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2261: Eavesdropped

Forget it. Old Qiao was still angry. He wouldn’t be able to listen to any reason. She wouldn’t say it, lest she argue with him again.

Ding Jiayi didn’t say it, but Qiao Dongliang could sense her disapproval. At this time, Qiao Dongliang felt regretful to have given birth to a second child and having Qiao Nan as a daughter. If they didn’t have a second child and only had Qiao Zijin as a daughter, he could let Ding Jiayi experience how life would be like then!

Based on how Qiao Zijin had a mom like Ding Jiayi, no matter if Qiao Zijin had siblings or not, he didn’t believe that Ding Jiayi could teach Qiao Zijin well.

“Old Qiao, where are you going?” Upon seeing that Qiao Dongliang was moving, Ding Jiayi was shocked. She thought that her dissatisfied look made Qiao Dongliang angry again.

Qiao Dongliang avoided her and didn’t let her touch him. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I’m tired. I want to return to my room and rest.”

“Not going out but resting at home?”

“Of course!”

“Alright, I’ll make your bed for you.” It was good if he didn’t go out. It was even better if he didn’t go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Qiao Dongliang’s eyes hurt and he was annoyed to see Ding Jiayi. “There’s no need to. I’m already an adult. How could I not know how to make my bed? Go and do whatever you need to. Just don’t disturb me.”

Qiao Dongliang didn’t want to be disturbed. Ding Jiayi didn’t dare not to listen to Qiao Dongliang’s words. Actually, she understood it a little. Qiao Dongliang should be telling Qiao Nan what she had just said. Upon thinking about this, Ding Jiayi only felt that her white hair was growing rapidly. Zijin only discussed this matter with her before. What if Zijin found out and she became angry at her? What should she do then?

“So it’s like this.” Qiao Nan had just finished her examinations when she received this call. Seeing that Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were busying themselves for her and Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan felt tired for the both of them. “Alright, Dad. I understand. Don’t worry. Don’t you understand my attitude? The Zhu family’s matters are a little complicated. Even if you are here with Qiao Zijin, it wouldn’t be easy, let alone just her alone.” She couldn’t refuse Chief Zhu’s fatherly love toward her and didn’t want to refuse it.

“I know.” Qiao Dongliang’s heart became sour. “It’s just that you know your sister’s temper as well. She wouldn’t give up so easily for money. I heard from your mom that if she succeeds in this, she could receive five million yuan, which is enough for her to spend the rest of her life. She wanted to coax your mom to go to the capital but I stopped her. She didn’t share with your mom what kind of tricks are up her sleeve after that. You have to be more careful.”

In front of five million yuan, there was no sibling relationship for Qiao Zijin to speak of. There was only a dispute over interests. For five million yuan, Qiao Zijin didn’t care about Qiao Nan. Qiao Dongliang would be crazy if he allowed Qiao Nan to cooperate with Qiao Zijin so that she could earn five million yuan.

It was always best to have it for herself. Because of her relationship with the Zhu family, Qiao Nan’s status and treatment had been greatly improved. Qiao Dongliang had heard about it years ago. He was still worried that Qiao Nan would lead a tough life in a circle like the Zhai family. However, after this situation, Qiao Dongliang felt that he didn’t need to worry about Qiao Nan anymore.

He didn’t expect someone would want to snatch those things away. This snatcher even got Qiao Zijin to help.

Qiao Nan arranged the books and looked casual. “Dad, don’t worry. I know how Qiao Zijin’s temper is like. No matter what tricks she’s planning to play, they will not work.” Today’s Qiao Zijin no longer had Ding Jiayi, the capable assistant, by her side. Qiao Nan suspected what other ruthless means Qiao Zijin could come up with such that she could force her to relent in this matter and let Wang Yang’s scheming plan succeed.

There was both Qiao Zijin and Li Yayan. Wang Yang wanted to try a two-pronged approach and was confident that either one of them would succeed?

“Qiao Nan, here.” Speak of the devil. As Qiao Nan walked out of the classroom, Li Yayan called her. “Qiao Nan, I’m going to buy something today. Can you come along with me? I won’t disturb you for long. At most, an hour. Please.”

“Sure.” After knowing that Li Yayan was Wang Yang’s wife, the way Qiao Nan looked at Li Yayan didn’t change. At least at this moment, Li Yayan didn’t feel that the Qiao Nan today was any different from the Qiao Nan a few days ago. action

Qiao Nan didn’t have lessons this afternoon. According to reason, she should head home. However, since she had already agreed to Li Yayan’s invitation, it wasn’t nice for Qiao Nan to refuse. She handed her books to the driver and asked him to go home. She also told him to let her parents-in-law know that she’d be home an hour later.

“I’ve finally succeeded. Qiao Nan, it’s so difficult to go shopping with you. How old are your children now such that they are inseparable from people?” Li Yayan seemed to be in a good mood as she walked next to Qiao Nan. Her tone became cheerful.

“Less than five months.”

“They’re so young. I really can’t tell. It’s your second birth?” Indeed, those who didn’t know Qiao Nan would ask her if it was her second birth when they looked at her age. It was rare for women in their forties to give birth to their first child.

“No, I married my husband slightly later, so I gave birth late as well. This is my first birth. I’m not planning for the second.” She was pretending quite well. Li Yayan should have memorized everything about her and Zhai Sheng. She was obviously not an actress, but her lies were more realistic than an actor’s.

“Is that so?” Li Yayan looked ‘shocked’. “So you’re a career woman? That’s true as well. If you lean against a hill, it will collapse. If you lean against a person, he will run away. In today’s society, it’s most important to rely on yourself. What is marriage? The divorce rate in our country is increasing year by year. A new record is set every year. Women can only truly feel at ease if they have their own careers and money. It’s good that you’re like this. I’m already considering if I should start my own business and accomplish something.”

“When I bought a toy for my son, although he was happy, he suddenly asked me, ‘Mom, did you use Dad’s money to buy me a toy?’ Upon hearing this, I was so angry. He is my own son but there is nothing I could do about him. My husband and I are legally married. The money he earned is the common property between us husband and wife. Why is it still his and not mine? I’m guessing that my son overheard my parents-in-law’s words.”

Qiao Nan’s eyes shone. After Wang Yang’s wife married Wang Yang, she had always been a full-time housewife. Her son stayed in Ping Cheng and was raised by her parents-in-law. No wonder it didn’t feel fake when Li Yayan was complaining to and sharing her grievances with her. She really thought that Li Yayan had the potential to become a movie queen.
